    Media disapproval rating: 55%

    The "media" enjoys a 55% disapprove rating.
    It is your patriotic duty to seek out news critical of power, regardless of whether there is a D or an R in office.

    Yet, when you see an article that does not praise the President or attempt to mitigate his blatant failures, you think it is "fake" or unfair.

    The whole purpose of the media is not to sing the praises of the President. The purpose is to be the harshest critic of those who wield power.

    If you have come to trust a news source that never or rarely critiques the President, be suspicious. You are assimilating propaganda. You are not getting any smarter.


    This President must discredit the media. That's what poor leaders and authoritarians must do. He invented the phrase "fake news" to do that. And I submit that those who repeat that phrase have essentially been unwittingly hypnotised. News is fake only of it is intentionally false.


    I am not saying you must believe every criticism. But you do have to stop telling others they should discount every criticism. That's insane and dangerous to freedom.

    There you go, telling everyone not to believe the media. as I said, that's insane and dangerous to freedom.

    You say that because you like the President, and because most media are critical of him.

    After the last three years of Russian collusion bull$#@! with a daily barrage of anonymous sources why should anyone believe the media ?? They discredited themselves almost on a daily basis.

    I did not tell anyone what to believe or not to believe. I said the media has earned the disapproval and contempt of the American People. Pay attention next time.

    Based on your posting history, the lack of adherence to the truth, the obvious bias, the unwillingness to even consider data that conflicts with your predetermined conclusions, you would probably do quite well working for one of the major "news" outlets. Of course, that also classify you as "insane and dangerous to freedom".

    You say that because you like the President, and because most media are critical of him.
    I don't care anymore about the President than I care about you. I don't care rat's ass about either of you. The difference is that I think he is doing a country a great service and handling his office as he should and you are just an annoying twit posting on an internet forum.

    You did not utter the exact phrase "disbelieve the media." Correct. But, in effect, that what you are doing by promoting the idea that they are dishonest or in your words "earned the disapproval and contempt of the American People."

    They earned a bad reputation? ALL of them are bad? You weren't specific. no need. just discount them all, or at least the ones that attack your favorite political player.

    Based on your posting history, the lack of adherence to the truth, the obvious bias, the unwillingness to even consider data that conflicts with your predetermined conclusions, you would probably do quite well working for one of the major "news" outlets.

    The entire preceding paragraph is complete BS.

    Based on my experience fact checking you, the only unreasonable liar here is you
    . I have documented at least 7 lies in our previous exchange. I have often asked you to point out my lies. You are never able to do so.

    You have lost all credibility.

    I don't care anymore about the President than I care about you. I don't care rat's ass about either of you. The difference is that I think he is doing a country a great service and handling his office as he should and you are juast an annoying twit posting on an internet forum.
    congrats

    I would have thought the media disapproval rating would be much higher.
